A previously censored paper from The Lancet has now undergone peer review and is available online. The study, titled “A Systematic Review of Autopsy Findings in Deaths After COVID-19 Vaccination,” analyzed 325 autopsy cases and found that a staggering 73.9% of deaths were either directly due to or significantly contributed to by the COVID-19 vaccination. The paper’s lead author, Dr. Nicolas Hulscher, faced significant opposition in bringing these findings to light. After initially being downloaded over 100,000 times, The Lancet removed the paper within 24 hours, according to Dr. William Makis. According to The Daily Sceptic, the reason given at...

The case may not be as well known (yet), but CNN could be facing a defamation liability rivaling or exceeding the $787 million Fox News paid out to Dominion Voting Systems. NewsBusters recently reported on Florida’s First District Court of Appeals affirming that plaintiff Zachary Young could seek punitive damages, in addition to economic and emotional damages, from the Cable News Network in a civil trial after they allegedly defamed him regarding his work in getting people out of Afghanistan. The total could near or exceed $1 billion. For that outcome to be remotely in the cards, Young needed to...

As pro-life conservatives and Republicans celebrate the second anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, President Joe Biden released a video urging Democrats to keep him in the White House for a second term to “fight like hell” against “extremism” and bring back complete abortion protections in all 50 states. In a 45-second spot posted by the president’s account on YouTube on Sunday, Biden quotes his opponent Donald Trump’s support for the overturning of Roe. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has boasted that he “was able to kill Roe v. Wade.” “Two years ago, the Supreme Court justices...

Schools in the progressive haven of San Francisco are facing a major budget crunch. Things are so dire that the district may have to actually close some schools. It’s amazing that these schools are having cash flow problems when you consider the taxes people pay to live there. Officials from the school district recently met with some financial experts who gave them some tough love. ... Late last week, two fiscal experts — appointed a few years ago to give guidance to the district — were authorized to suspend or reverse financial decisions made by the superintendent or school board....

Six RAF Eurofighter Typhoons sit on the taxiway, engines roaring on two, as the ground staff hurry about, adding the finishing touches before take-off. In the distance, a cloud of dust rises in the summer haze over the construction site of the second runway, 3.5km (2 miles) long, beside the first. The hot northerly wind buffets the new hangars and the old. Mihai Kogalniceanu (MK) airbase takes its name from the village nearby, itself named after a 19th Century liberal politician. Now, it is the unlikely setting for what is turning into the biggest Nato base in Europe, bigger even...

Hamas-friendly gulf state paid American operative $250,000 'for [a] PBS documentary,' DOJ filings reveal.. Qatar, the oil-rich gulf monarchy that harbors Hamas and other terrorist groups, has used a number of conduits to influence unwitting American audiences: tens of millions of dollars in funding for universities, think tanks, military museums, and alleged bribes to prominent members of Congress. Add PBS documentaries to the list. A Qatari-backed front group, Yemen Crisis Watch, paid $250,000 to travel journalist Burt Wolf from September 2017 to January 2018 for a documentary about the war in Yemen that aired on PBS affiliates, according to previously...

CNN host Kasie Hunt abruptly ended an interview with Donald Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday morning after she repeatedly bashed her colleague Jake Tapper. With three days to go until the first presidential debate, Hunt asked Leavitt how the Republican was preparing for his showdown with President Joe Biden. Leavitt accused Biden of ‘hiding away’ while Trump was preparing to ‘go into a hostile environment on this very network with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years.’ She said Tapper and Dana Bash are ‘biased’, prompting Hunt to...

A New Hampshire teacher has been fired after she secretly escorted a pregnant special needs student to an abortion clinic. The female teacher, who has not been named to protect the identity of the student, admitted to her employer that she faked a sick day for the mission.

The teacher was listed as working for Regional Services and Education Center Inc, a nonprofit based in Amherst, according to the Boston Globe. The umbrella institution serves grade five to 12 students...

“Leftism might actually be noble if their concern for the marginalized wasn’t simply an incidental externality to their seething hatred of the normal and the good.” —David Pivtorak on “X”. Did you entertain feelings of doom during last week’s brain-withering heat-wave? The sheer anxious waiting and wishing for it to end was a nice analog to the stifling psycho-political miasma oppressing this nation — alternately known as the republic (for which we stand) and “our democracy,” as “Joe Biden” likes to style his regime of lawfare, warfare, and garish state-sponsored depravity. Well, rejoice and ring them bells! The political weather...

Two women shared this week their stories of how overturning Roe v. Wade saved their babies ahead of the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling next week. The two mothers joined Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America for a video press call on Thursday ahead of June 24, the anniversary of the landmark Dobbs decision, which reversed nearly 50 years of legal abortion nationwide. One mother, Ashley, described how she and her husband, Dusty, struggled to have children but were able to adopt their one-year-old son, Jacob, after his birth mother decided against having an abortion. Jacob’s birth mother had...

The leeches coil themselves back like a spring. Image credit: © Mai Fahmy If your nightmares have been feeling a little bland and repetitive recently, don’t worry, we bring you something that’ll be sure to add a fresh smattering of terror – jumping leeches. The existence of leaping leeches has been a matter of debate since Victorian-era naturalists were kicking about, with some providing field notes of encounters with their acrobatics, whilst others said the parasitic worms had likely dropped down on them from above. That over 100-year-old debate has now been settled by footage that researchers Mai Fahmy and...

Former president Donald Trump, speaking this weekend at the gathering of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, returned several times to the subject of the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump described migrants crossing it as “tough” and said that he told his friend Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, to enlist them in a new version of the sport. “Why don’t you set up a migrant league and have your regular league of fighters. And then you have the champion of your league, these are the greatest fighters in the world, fighting the champion of the migrants,’” Trump described saying...

All the talk about whether Joe Biden can stand for the "debate"(How can you debate another if you're not allowed to talk to the other ?)leads me to wonder and question whether hypnotism might be a way to make a zombie appear alive with a brain.

India's Space Research Organization has signalled its intention to build a reusable launch vehicle after a third test of an unpowered experimental precursor again nailed its landing. The precursor is called the RLV-LEX – the Reusable Launch Vehicle Landing EXperiment – and resembles NASA's retired space shuttle, Russia's Buran reusable vehicle, and the US Air Force's X-37B autonomous spaceplane. The vehicle first flew in April 2023, then again in March 2024. For its third flight, the craft was again dropped from a helicopter. This time, however, winds were stronger than on previous flights. The lander also made a 500-meter course...

Only slavery reparations can save Chicago. Chicago celebrated ‘Juneteenth’ with 40 shootings. The Windy City kept up a Father’s Day weekend in which 71 people were shot by fatherless young men in a city where 8 out of 10 black children are born to single mothers. And in which it’s all the fault of “systemic racism”. Over in Daley Plaza, Mayor Brandon Johnson (pictured above) raised the ‘Juneteenth flag’ created by an activist who wanted the black parts of Boston to secede and form a new city named ‘Mandela’. But who needs Mandela, when you’ve got Chicago? “God bless the...

Meet Traitor Joe. It is the name that is associated with one single word, traitor. Benedict Arnold started as a patriot and one who served our revolutionary efforts very well. However, Arnold became bitter when he felt that he had been snubbed for promotion and that others were taking credit for his exploits. George Washington believed in Arnold and gave him command of the highly important Fort at West Point that guarded the entrance into the Hudson River valley. Arnold, unfortunately, decided that he would place his ego over duty and planned to turn the fort over to the British.The...
